Does insurance cover anyone who drives your car?
If I let my sister borrow my car, will she be covered? I don't want her to get into an accident and my vehicle not have coverage.

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“As long as they have your permission, anyone who drives your vehicle should be covered by your
car insurance
. Car insurance typically follows the vehicle and not the driver, so anyone driving your vehicle would normally be covered.However, there are some exceptions to this rule. If your sister lives in the same household as you, you’ll want to be sure your insurance doesn’t have her listed as excluded. Insurance companies usually require that policyholders list household members as excluded or rated.
If a driver is rated on your policy, they are
covered
explicitly under your insurance. If a driver is excluded, they have no coverage under your policy.You’ll want to confirm your policy terms and conditions with your insurance company. If your sister is going to be borrowing your vehicle frequently, you may want to consider listing her as an additional driver.”
